East Allen Opposes State Police fee Page 9 Submitted by CONNIE VANBLARGAN The weekend of February 7-9, 12 youth and adults from Christian Endeavor Youth Group, Little Moore Church in Danielsville, along with other local youth groups and some from New York attended the Allentown Youth Quake at the SureStay Hotel (former Best Western) on Route 512. The Youth Quake helps youth from grade 6-12 strengthen their faith through music, speakers, and workshops. The theme was "More" and it was based on Ephesians 3:20-21. The speaker was the founder and president of Life Promotions, Bob Lenz. Bob is the author of the book “Dignity Revolution” about anti-bullying and he has spoken to over 5 million people around the world. His presentations are youth-centered around the value of every person. Life Promotions is a non-profit organization with a mission to give hope to youth so they can overcome the challenges of life. The music group, Red Let-

ter Hymnal, lead the attendees with live popular Christian music. The youth participated in workshops including Food Packaging Service Project where the kids pack emergency meals that are used locally and abroad to aid in disaster relief and help combat world hunger. Bible Study Escape room was a workshop where they did puzzles and riddles to help solve Bible study questions in a timed game. God, Games, and Geekery was a workshop about leveling up our relationship with God while still being a gamer. Other workshops and a self-guided prayer room are also offered. Christian Endeavor Youth group sells breakfast sandwiches after Sunday worship once per month to raise money to support our attendance at the Quake each year. Next year's Allentown Quake will be held Feb. 5-7, 2021. The theme will be BELONG from Romans 8:38-39. This is a nondenominational event and more information can be found at QuakeEvent.com
